How do i get the engine looking nice and clean again after it got dirty doing various jobs over the past year

As it's time to return the CLS GE to its 18s after winter thought I give them a good clean whilst they're off the car. I've seen some threads from others efforts, which looked impressive, so how hard can it be. How do you get the backs of the wheels really clean? I started with Bilberry wheel...

I just spent a good 2 hours replacing the egr valve assembly on my C270 cdi. Over the past 12 months or so I have spent around 80 quid on various cleaners: Revive, Wynne's egr 3 etc... The amount of oil and crap in the valve I removed was unbelievable, so much for miracle cleaners! Conclusion...

Well, Yesterday I dismounted my manifold to open it and clean it up. Before starting I decided to check the procedure at the forum. I found helpful stuff, but what I didn't found was if I had to put again glue in top of the "ribs" that assemble with the upper part. My engine.. M112 or M113 is...
